so interesting ! seeped in irony n still manages to feel earnest(part one especially), going 2 sound like a broken record but the form..all the variation .. melding together into something that feels so! so cohesive, microcosm of violence and discourses on violence and violence in discourse and and ! :O

aaahso torn on this one 。°(°.◜ᯅ◝°)°。
luv it thematically nd it feels so different from what im used to with him! but also soo consistent(u know..with the murakami stuff .. . ) nd the way he builds his worlds so they feel just slightly unrecognizable, just didnt ever rly feel like it was digging under the surface which is strange for a character study! might've been the writing taking me out of it :c
add it to the pile of is that a character or is murakami just like that

trying 2 be kind but, :t least favorite combo of straight and true crime in one, everyone is masculine or sexy or perfectly a type (rly feel like that only works for me in noir), reminds me of people who would say they have a "favorite murder" they would lovveeee this, so teeny bit strange !
this many stars bc i think this could've been vry good if it leaned into the house and beth without trying to do e v e r y t h i ng, an essay on memory and home and family and ghosts, but that would b a different book !
